Unlikely For N[?]

HOPES of an improved shipping service to Norfolk Island as a result of the January visit of the NG-A Line Shansi, with equip ment for the new whaling station, are not likely to eventuate.

According to a spokesman of the New Guinea-Australia Line on March 2, the cost of modifying deep tanks for the bulk carriage of whale oil has been found to be out of pro portion to the anticipated freight.

Considerable equipment has yet to be delivered to Norfolk Island for the whaling factory, including a 29ton item from Norway.
